There are several ways to engage an architect and get started working together on your project. Here is an overview of the options that we offer at Green Point Design:

1. Full Service: Percentage FeeAfter having met to discuss your project and our services, you may decide to start assembling the whole project team. A traditional method is to simply engage the architect for full services with fees based on a percentage of the building costs.

2. Hourly RatesSome projects, especially renovations, lend themselves to starting work on an hourly rate basis with an agreed maximum per invoice period. Once the project is underway and the scope better understood, it is common to move to either a lump sum or percentage basis fee arrangement.
